I've gotten pretty lucky so far, for Indiana viewing anyways. Off and on within about 45 mins, I've seen 5 so far. 1 streaked from proylcon(sp) nearly all the way to orion's belt before it faded off.

I saw some! Thanks OP, I have a question though, I just asked it on another thread, I'm in the midwest and in the southeastern sky, I see a star or something that flashes red, green and blue, can someone tell me what that is?

THE GEMINID METEOR SHOWER IS UNDERWAY: International observers are counting as many as 50 meteors per hour as Earth plunges into a stream of debris from rock comet 3200 Phaethon. Rates could double, or more, when the shower peaks on Dec. 13th and 14th. The best time to look is during the dark hours before dawn on Thursday and Friday

Dang ... they are "so low" in that it seems they are only 3-4 tree heights above me ... an illusion I know, but they seem so nearby.

Was out for 20 mins, drinking my hot chocolate. Fingers are cold though despite gloves. Came in to warm up for about 20 mins and then will head out again.

While I see Orion, Gemini, and other stars/constellations quite clearly, I do have Bojangles, Wendys, Walmart, and 2 streetlamps brightening up the place a bit. Bojangles (I think) closes at 11pm. I have to wait until 2am for Wendys to shut off their lights.

I wish I had lawn chairs or such. I have to stand and crane my neck to face nearly straight up to see most of the meteors.
